Goals

The documentation should be written in a simple and clear text format.
Eye-catching and consistent styling that is easy to read and navigate.
Interactive demos that allow users to experience our APIs by providing them with dummy data to test with.
A feedback section to get feedback on how we can improve our APIs and the documentation site.
Notes and Alerts to notify users of anything they should look out for.
A button that links to our dashboard to enable merchants to easily log in or sign up after reviewing the documentation.
A get-started section to easily onboard new developers.

Information Architecture

I grouped all the content on the Documentation under five categories;
Introduction
Getting Started
Libraries
Guides
Flowcharts
This was necessary in creating the navigation and clear hierarchy based on developer needs discovered from interviews and competitive audits

High-Fidelity Design
